[PHP] Re: Inline Frame and php
Hi, Would I be right in assuming that the top frame has the search button but when searching, the results appear on a new window? or the main window? Greg Todd Cary [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] My client insists on using inline Frames that uses my php pages. As an example, this is on one page: IFRAME target=_top frameborder=0 SRC=search.php?search_text=?echo($search_text);? WIDTH=592 HEIGHT=282 /IFRAME This works well with the control being given to search.php. What I do not understand is that within search.php, I have a statement that is suppose to pass control to anther page. The line is header(location: http://192.168.0.23/mypath/mypage.php;); Rather than going to the page, it opens mypage.php in the inline frame. Is there a way to leave the inline frame?

[PHP] Shoutbox without sql dbase
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has come across (or even using) a shoutbox that doesnt require an sql dbase. While it isnt hard to access one id prefer to write everything to a file (wanting to learn how to write, append etc files) I tried one but for some reason the script processing turned into some random java script about symwindow openning etc -has anyone heard of this or know what it means?

Re: [PHP] Semi-OT: Anti-password trading/sharing solutions
Come here to get help, not abuse for what its worth: sql dbase with fields usernamepassiptime if duplicate username/passowrd then check that IPs match and dont do anything if IPs match then kick both users off / disable username/password go figure the code out yourself here is the idea which is the most you have got out of anyone Dan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Richard Lynch wrote: Dan Trainor wrote: I'm not quite sure why you chose the PHP community as a recipient -- There are quite a few Apache modules out there. And Modules such as mod_auth_mysql and mod_auth_ldap (?) and, really, any old mod_auth_XYZ module would be a closer match for what you want, I think. I know absolutely nothing about how ProxyPass, iProtect, and PureMember work, however, so perhaps there is something about them that just screams use PHP to do this [I doubt it though] It seems to me, however, that you're still a bit off-target on PHP-General, as your target audience is not those who use PHP, but those who wrote it and maintain it, particularly the Apache Module part of it. I believe, in fact, that the Apache Module part of it boils down to the code Rasmus Lerdorf wrote ages and ages ago, and that mostly Rasmus (I think) has maintained since then. Perhaps with Apache 2, somebody else stepped up to write/maintain that code, and I'm under-informed. Or maybe Rasmus hasn't touched that code in ages, and somebody else is doing it now. Apologies to those individuals who I've slighted by not naming them at this time. At any rate, you're trying to get in contact with a handful of people by sending email to thousands. Bad Idea #1. NOTE: Contacting Rasmus directly and offering him $$$ to do this would maybe not be a Bad Idea. Asking him to do it for free would be really stupid. Next, let's look at your proposal: You want something that Member Sites need, to avoid the theft/sharing of username/passwords. So, in particular, only for-pay Member Sites need this, mostly, as there's not much point in stealing/sharing a username/password if you can just get one for free. So, basically, it's a for-profit motivator that drives this request. Yet nowhere do I see an offer of recompense for the developers who write this software for you. Bad Idea #2. I highly recommend you figure out what it would be worth to you and some of your colleagues/friends to have an OpenSource solution to rival the current proprietary technologies. Take up a collection or form a very loose consortium with some of your colleagues to fund the project. Then write up a specification for what you want done, and make an offer to PAY somebody and fund the resources needed to get the project from its current state (gleam in your eye) to a usable state. You could and probably should still make it OpenSource -- Perhaps with Funded by: attributions on all source code and materials to plug your consortium and its members -- and then when it's at the stage of usefulness that you need, you will probably find that some people are willing to maintain it for little or no money at all. Right now, though, you've got a lot of people seeing: I want you to work for me for free so I can save thousands of dollars every month That ain't gonna happen, dude. People wrote PHP and Apache and other OpenSource software because THEY needed it for THEIR own use, and were willing to give it to you for FREE because they knew that giving away 10,000 free copies would get them one (1) more Developer to help build/improve the software. They did *NOT* do it because they wanted you to be able to run your company on free software. Which is not to say that they *MIND* that you can do that -- Only that they're not going to just up and code something just because *YOU* happen to need it to run your company more efficiently. You've got zero incentive for the Developer here -- They don't need the Module you want, and you're not paying them. [shrug] Go ahead and look at my first email. For some reason you didn't get the idea that I was looking for solutions. Ideas. I wasn't looking for anything solid. The reason why I wrote to the PHP community was to get some ideas. Aside from the two people who have sent me hatemail today, the PHP comunity is very intelligent, very clever, and might have worked on something like this in the past. That's the information that I was after. Rasmus? Waht's he got to do with anything? Sure, I value and credit the work he's put into PHP, but I really think that using his name in this context has no point. Who asked anyone to write any software for me? Again, let's focus on the primary purpose of this email - to gather information so that I can do some further investigation. You know, you're right. It's stupid for me to think that Open Source software is used in for-profit situations. PHP, Apache, MySQL,
Re: [PHP] Pop-up message
not knowing much about php myself but you could ask phpBB about their private msgs. i cant recall whther it is a mod that pops the window up on receiving a msg or whether the user is online (probably configurable). But as far as direction, that is where i would be heading :) Greg Richard Lynch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Lester Caine wrote: At the risk of being shouted at because *I* know it's not a PHP problem! Actually, it's a client problem :-) I have a page that is being refreshed every 30 seconds or so, and displays a list of 'tickets' waiting to be dealt with on a list from a database query. No problems there, but a couple of sites now want me to add a pop-up warning when a ticket is added that has a staff ID matching the logged in user. Your first task is to convince the client what an incredibly stupid idea this is. And that it won't work with all the popup blockers. And if it did work, it would just annoy the [bleep] out of their users. I know I'm preaching to the choir, here, but I have to go on record with this statement. I can drive a sounder in the target browser, but need kicking in the A sounder? You mean like make my browser make noise? ICK!!! right direction for a method of adding a pop-up window. Ideally it needs to be browser agnostic, which is where the problem comes given the pop-up blockers and other 'toys' that are being added to the browser end of things. You're not going to defeat the popup blockers in the long run. You are better off using clean simple code in an onLoad in your body tag to open the new window. Something like: body onLoad=window.open(URL); where the URL loads in that user's recently added items. Either the users will accept the popup and whitelist it in their popup blocker, or they won't. And if a lot of them don't accept it, as they shouldn't, that tells you right there what a dumb idea this was. :-) But running around to find code to defeat the popup blockers will be a total waste of time -- and you'll end up with something so hacked and so un-maintainable that you'll have to fix it every six months, even if the popup blockers don't find workarounds to block your workarounds that popup the windows that they don't want popped up. So can anybody point me in the right direction for a CURRENT method of achieving this, many of the bits I've found so far are somewhat antiquated, and fail in one way or another :( Perhaps it would be better to segregate the tickets into those associated with the User logged in, and those that are not. Or to at least sort them that way, regardless of their other sorting options. For that matter, don't even *BOTHER* to show me items that aren't mine, unless I specifically ask for them. Build a system that detects tickets that sit un-assigned for too long, and randomly assigns them, or, better yet, assigns them based on factors such as: Ticket features (IE, interface tickets to interface team members) Productivity (IE, don't assign as many tickets to your slow team members as your fast ones) User Status (IE, if I'm on vacation, don't assign me anything) . . . That way, no tickets is left sitting there too long but nobody has to deal with tickets that aren't assigned to them. Just an idea. In general, though, I only mean: Come back at the client with more than just That's a dumb idea (which it is) Come back with a Here's a MUCH better way to do this proposal. That's a dumb idea just gets you more headaches. A solution for a better solution makes you look real smart. :-) Yes, this may turn out to be a waste of your time, because the client is REALLY dead set on these popups, and you'll end up being miserable about them not taking your proposal as well... Time to start looking for a new client. :-v -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
